New on the Lochaber Pride Website: Our Community Resources Section

At Lochaber Pride, we believe visibility isn’t just about parades and parties — it’s about making sure no one feels alone, especially in the quieter moments. That’s why we’re proud to launch our new Resources section on the website: a go-to space for LGBTQ+ folks in Lochaber to find support, connection, and clarity.

Whether you’re looking for youth services, trans-specific support, mental health resources, or just a reminder that you’re not the only queer person in the glen — this page is for you.

🧭 Why We Built It

We know that living in a rural area can sometimes feel isolating. Services can be hard to find, and it’s not always clear where to turn. This section is part of our ongoing commitment to build bridges — between people, between generations, and between the LGBTQ+ community and the wider world around us.

We’re not claiming to be the experts. But we can shine a light on what’s already out there — from NHS wellness support to local groups for older LGBTQ+ folks, and everything in between.

🧒🏽👵🏽 Who It’s For

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all list. We’ve included resources for:

• Young people navigating identity, school, or coming out

• Trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse folks seeking affirming care

• Gay, lesbian, and bi+ people looking for connection or advice

• Older LGBTQ+ folks who may feel overlooked or underrepresented

• Anyone needing mental health or wellbeing support in Lochaber

If you’re not sure where to start, this page is a gentle first step.

🗣️ Built With the Community

We didn’t build this in a vacuum. We asked our wider Pride group what should be included — and we’re still listening. If there’s a service, group, or resource you think should be added, please let us know. This is a living page, shaped by and for the people it serves.

📣 Spread the Word

We’d love you to take a look — and then tell your pals. Share it in your group chats, mention it over coffee, or post it on your socials. You never know who might need it. No one should be left in the dark about the support available to them.

Together, we’re making Lochaber a place where LGBTQ+ people feel seen, supported, and celebrated — not just during Pride, but all year round.
